Apparently hitting .238 and missing 160 games over the past 2 years is worth $9.5 Million?

This is why I think the megadeals like the ones that the Sawx/Dodgers and Marlins/Jays pulled off are bad for baseball- it continues to widen the gap between the Boston's and, say, San Diego's of the baseball world so asshat owners and GMs like Henry can continue to do this with zero consequence.
